Then you'd be the parent of a Gundam side character, and things don't typically go well for the parents of Gundam side characters.

But name your son Quattro Bagina and you'll he fine.

Things don't typically go well for the parents of Gundam main characters, either.

Maybe something like Batman bin Suparman might be better? Oh

Agh, fuck... this-is-fine

remember your kid is going to have to apply for jobs.

or, if your kid won't have to apply for jobs, how about you buy me a house while we're here?

Ok, then, I'll prbly pull a loan... sadness

As long as the name is something people who speak the local language can pronounce I don't see a problem. I'd avoid names with sounds that don't exist in the language though, just sounds mean.

Got it, I'll get the name derived from the most rural local dialect or language (eg. Scots Gaelic name in Great Britain)

(eg. Scots Gaelic name in Great Britain)

Good luck, we already adopted all of them. Might be some left in Welsh that are still unusual.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aye, I'll settle for that... Welsh seems too unpronounciable

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

I can recommend Irish, German, and Dutch for very pronounceable names that people will generally get wrong from reading - stuff like Seana, Hannelore, or Johan will fuck most people up.

As long as you're not taking a name from Harry Potter or GoT you're probably fine.

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

My first kid is going to be Harry Potter but in cyrillics

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

No, name your kid Mike Truk

[–] Othello@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

that kid would get bullied at a school with any sort of diversity so i wouldn't recommend it.

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Your kid is going to go through their entire life unable to pronounce their own name. Even if you managed to raise them to be a native speaker of both languages, they'd have to transition from pronouncing things in English, then language 1, then language 2 anytime they say their own name.

It's a bit weird to choose a name for yourself or someone else from a culture that you have 0 relation to. Like if you're from Ireland and your entire ancestry is Irish and you've never lived outside of Dublin or even traveled anywhere and have no friends, family, etc. outside the country, but then you change your name to Yevgeny O'Connor and name your son Qiang O'Connor, you're just weird.
